Las Vegas Map Art

Las Vegas spreads across a flat desert valley in a rigid grid that breaks only for the Las Vegas Boulevard corridor running north-south through downtown and the Strip. The grid realigns twice—once at downtown's old center around Fremont Street, again where the Strip begins—creating a fractured pattern of overlapping blocks. To the north, the Spring Mountains form a hard edge; to the south, McCarran International Airport anchors the landscape with its runways cutting across the grid.
